1. Disable B_Frames by setting "max b-frames" to -1 2. Without B-frames it should be ok.

I could release a new binary without bframes and SMP activated, so there should be less confusion. Foxer tweaked the curve treatment a little, which from my view solves the matter of consecutive keyframes a little worse, but still produces nice output (well, now I have some frames quantized with 9+10, the old code left me alone with max 8 ;) ) If you prefer this, just drop a note. Regards, Koepi P.S.: I can't remember who needed the xvid-core without any options compiled in, if someone could point me to his nick again? :)

(I should be releasing a new version of my filter soon without the green bug, that was easy to fix. The crashing of explorer is not easy, ive tracked it down to the colorspace code, but I cant work out why its getting corrupted, Id almost think it was a threading issue normally....) -Nic

Nic, there definatly is some error in the mmx colour space conversion code, but I'm unable to identify it... look into the xvid forums, there someone reported it and tracked it down a little. Regards, Koepi

Thanks Koepi, Weird thing is it happens to me if I use the C implementation too. dst2 in the yv12 to RGB function becomes a <Bad Ptr> & alot of the local variables in the function get corrupted too... ...Ill go look into the thread at the xvid.org forum now, Cheers, -Nic

Nic, GomGom has uploaded a patch for the problem i was referrencing to, can you test if this solves your issues? (Well, I guess the problem must be more eval as this happens not only for multiple threads). Regards, Koepi

@ Koepi Hi your XviD Options Explained V1.3 PDF, link appears to be dead. I would like to read your new version. Thank you for all your great input @ Nic Good to have you back with the free living

Shayne, due to massive direct linking I had to compile in referer-checking into the web server. Try another browser, or configure it that it sends the correct referer, after that the download will succeed. Regards, Koepi

Thanks but no thanks Redundant software is not really my thing BP ftp return code linked directly from ur site URL detected in clipboard.
